Band Takes Top
Marching Trophy
in JRB Parade
By Larry Gott
PCC’s Lancer Band marched
away with the top junior college
band trophy in California by edg¬
ing Santa Monica City College’s
band in last Saturday’s Junior-
Rose Bowl Parade competition.
The Lancers scored 94.4 out of
a possible 100 points and garner¬
ed the top score in every category
of judging. Fourteen junior col¬
lege bands representing several
western states were entered in
the competition.
“WITH THIS win the Lancer
Band has put itself in the ranks
of the best junior college bands
in the country,” Director Dan
Hiestand said. “It has been a
pleasure working with this
group.”
In the past, the Lancer Band
has retired two three-year march¬
ing trophies in JRB competition.
IN AN interview with virtual¬
ly every member of the band, the
opinion was that much of the
credit for the win should go to
Director Hiestand and drum ma¬
jor Richard Crane.
The band hopes to represent
PCC on a tour this spring. In the
past, the group has participated in
the San Antonio (Texas) Rose
Festival, acted as “Honor Band”
for the opening day at the Seattle
Word’s Fair, and marched in 33
Rose Parades. The group will
lead off the Rose Parade again
this year.
